I'm objecting on three basis to NeverAgain's being the chair.
There was no vote for chair.
The chair was closed for challenge within half an hour of NeverAgain declared for the position.
NeverAgain is a member of the minority party. IRL United States Congress, the majority party holds the chairmanships of the house/senate committees. I believe it's reasonable that it should be the same here.
So yes NeverAgain, we are doing this.
1. It was agreed to by the majority of the committee.
2. See above and for Christ's sake IT IS A COMMITTEE OF FOUR PEOPLE
3. That's stupid, especially with the amount of people we have. IRL Chairs have a more partisan position. I don't want to be this because I am a power-hungry leftist, I seek this because this topic is VERY important to me and I want to make some damn progress on this committee.
I just do not see why at every turn in both here and at the Gun Reform Committee, you seek to make a huge deal out of the process of which the chair is created. The only committee making progress is the Healthcare committee, THE ONE WITH AN ACTUAL CHAIR WHO HAPPENS TO BE A LEFTIST!
(Also Tmth, I will have a budget all set and dandy for you when I get back from the DNC, this camp is a nightmare though)
If you have an objection, fine. But it is obvious that what you are doing is acting in a partisan position so you (or others who don't even want the position) can take control of NON-PARTISAN committees.
Okay, you have your vote now. Knock yourself out for 2 days.
Why not have it a little more like RL? You've already won because you got my fellow federalist to vote for you by reason only known to himself. Shouldn't elections have consequences? Shouldn't there be incentives to win elections? By having a Labor chair when the Federalists hold majority in both houses it wrongly hampers the power and influence of the party in power. I could understand if we had divided government and would advocate such compromise. However, we have one party in a governing majority in both chambers.
